It's nice to hear from you Apple. Not sure if or how long you've been present in this forum but I'm glad you decided to ask a question and join the conversation.
I too have been debating a talk with my general physician. Pueraria mirifica unquestionably has an effect on me and it only seems prudent that my doctor or at least SOME doctor should be be looking out for me. I only hesitate for a couple reasons. I highly doubt my doctor would know anything about PM and whatever research he did do, assuming he would do any, is probably available to me via the internet. I realize however that he might understand the technical aspects of it better than I do and therefore might see things I don't. The other concern I have is simply having that particular information about myself in my medical records for "all" to see. I'm not sure I want to be stereotyped and categorized by all future doctors I need to see as... whatever one who takes PM is stereotyped and categorized as.
As for your other questions Apple, I could only speculate so I'd rather not try to answer them for you. You appear to be taking responsibility for yourself and your actions and if you feel most comfortable under the oversight of a doctor, I commend you for doing so and would love to hear what he or she tells you. Please report back with anything that might help those of us who aren't ready to take that step.
